Note

  • general or unspecified; prefer specifics; do not confuse with MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY: check text

Scope note

  • Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

History note

  • 1988; for NMR TOMOGRAPHY & TOMOGRAPHY, NMR & TOMOGRAPHY, PROTON SPIN use MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY 1985-1987; for CHEMICAL SHIFT IMAGING use MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY 1995-2000
